Untethered iOS 4.3.1 Jailbreak released with PwnageTool and redsn0w for Windows & Mac

Dev Team has finally announced the Untethered Jailbreak tool for iOS devices running 4.3.1 firmware. The iOS 4.3.1 untethered jailbreak can be done using PwnageTool or redsn0w, available for all iOS devices running 4.3.1 except the iPad2. redsn0w is available both for Windows and Mac OS X, while PwnageTool is available for OS X only.

The 4.3.1 untether works on all devices that actually support 4.3.1 except for the iPad2:

iPhone3GS

iPhone4 (GSM)

iPod touch 3G

iPod touch 4G

iPad1

AppleTV 2G (PwnageTool only for now)

The reason the untether won’t work as-is on the iPad2 is that it requires a bootrom or iBoot-level exploit to install, and the iPad2 is not susceptible to either the limera1n or SHAtter bootrom exploits.
